Be it known that 1, JAMES XV.

In preparing my composition 1 proceed as follows: I dissolve the biborajgflsoda in the eighty parts of water, add the water of ammonia, and lastly the solution of chlorinated soda, then bottle; or it will be equally as good to mix the biborate of soda with the water, then add the Labarraques solution of chlorinated soda, and add the ammonia lastly.
